Thanks..They're aftermarket. The back rim look too aggressive. I don't know the offset but it's poking about 5mm. from the top with 305 tires.

I kinda like the stingray. Maybe black it out?

I will look into it, thanks. I went the cheap route before & it didn't turned out too well.

Nice rims! Maybe a good alignment shop can fix the offset. A little bit of negative camber dialed in can help that. The GS and Z06 have more negative camber than the Z51. Possibly you can match what they have.

I couldn't decide which side skirts I want so I did some other minor mods instead. I painted & install the roof spoiler. It just stuck on with 3M tape.
Pinstripe the wheels blue to give a little contrast. Added the Z51 badge on the steering wheel.

About that roof spoiler...

Is there any functional purpose for that? Or is it just for looks?

Don't know if it's functional but I like the way it look.

Spent the afternoon installing the side skirts. I thought about ACS or RPI but couldn't stomach $6-700. So I went with the ebay stage1 style for much less & it matched the flat black of the front splitter. I know you get what you paid for but I'm satisfied with this one. I didn't even jack up the car. Just laid on my back thru out the whole process. The holes for the stock screws were not pre-drilled but I managed to drilled it & get it to fit perfect. I did not drill any holes in the mid section. It just held with 3M tape & feel very sturdy enough.
